Timing of medications

When a new order is written for an existing medication (i.e. changing the dose or changing the frequency) who is responsible for making sure the timing of the new order goes to the MAR at the correct time based on the last dose given? Is this the responsibility of the prescriber? the verifying pharmacist? or the RN utilizing the retiming option?

Thanks,

Randi
